Ravens making a play for former Cardinals S Tony Jefferson

It looks like Baltimore Ravens safety Eric Weddle’s Twitter comment might actually be working. The Ravens are in play for former Arizona Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson, along with the Cleveland Browns.

Browns have a legit shot at landing S Tony Jefferson, are offering him the most money by far, sources tell me + @RapSheet. Ravens in it too.

This would be the second-straight offseason where Baltimore is attracting the attention of the biggest safety on the free agent market. The Ravens signed Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle last offseason and now are making a big play for Jefferson to help bolster their young secondary.

Since before free agency, it was expected that Jefferson would command around $7 million per season due to his exceptional work in 2016. Playing an enforcer-type role in Arizona’s secondary, Jefferson added a certain meanness that the Ravens would likely want to attract back to its defense.

Jefferson managed to get 96 tackles, two sacks, five passes defended and two forced fumbles in 15 games for the Cardinals last season. Now it just becomes a matter of winning him over the likely extensive amount of money the Browns are offering him. Maybe Weddle can help out a bit there too.
